While in Havana Sherman expressed a
desire to visit sugar plantation 10 the

departure of Sherman's party.

ITO THE SUM-"
The New York Leaders" Daily Epis
 tie 10 Dana.

Ever since the boycott placed upon Dana's Sun by the eleven District Assemblies of New York and vicin- ity, the Lea1ler has been giving Dana daily dose of philosophy that must be of much value to the ex-com- munist of the Sun. Here is last Mondays epistle "To the Sun"
 We observed few days ago that in a free country the function of the press is simply to stimulate independent thought. The true value of newspapers is meas ured by the accuracy of their reports. As to the editorial utterances of class organs, they have long ceased to be treated with the respect that superior wisdom inspires. Therefore it some times heppens that an apparently popu- lar sheet--the Sun or a World, for in- stanceis most read by men whose views are in direct opposition to those entertained by it's editor. The editor himself seems to be the only person un- aware of this fact. From the height of his circulation he is apt to miscalculate the force and direction of the currents below, though he may fancy that he regulates them and his astonishment IS great when the popular vote upsets his tall conceit by exposing the narrow limits of his influence.
 Of this we have striking example in the rapid growth of Organized Labor as an economic force, and of the United Labor party as political power in the face of class press unanimous in it's op- position to the Labor movement.
 Mir, Dana's abuse and vituperation are, therefore, of little import. Had he con fined himself to vain tirades against the inevitable forms which progress assumes in it's development, workingmen might have long continued to buy his paper, were it only to laugh at it's ignorance. But when he presumed to enforce his editorial views by tampering with truth in his news colums, he plays the role of a dictator, full of contempt for that very liberty of which the freedom of the press is only part, and his paper was imme- diately boycotted by eleven district as- semblies of the Knights of Labor.

The Socialists of the American Athens
 Wide Awake.

The American Section of the So- clalistic Labor Party at its last meet ing passed the following resolutions, after an interesting debate upon the late elections.
 Whereas, the Labor Party in the re- cent elections in Chicago, Cincinnati. Dubuque and elsewhere has polled an unprecedented number of votes in sup. port of the principles of progress, truth and justice;
 llheredS, the capitalistic press has her aided the result as Waterloo for So- cialistic and radical ideas;
 llhereds the same press has stated in previous years that Socialism was for. eign plant which would never become indigenous in America;
 Whereas, the spread of radical ideas has gone on in a manner to confound the prophecies of those whose wish was father to the thought; and,
 Whereas this same press is now con graduating itself over the escape of the city of Chicago from passing into the control of the same Socialstic party which it formerly despised; therefore be it
 Resoiced, That we, the Boston Section of the Socialistic Labor party, congratu late our 23,000 comrades in Chicago on the success with which they have forced the principles of Socialism to the front.
 Resoired, That we view with satisfac- tion the strength of the movement in that city, which has caused the capital. istic employers of both the democratic and republican" parties to combine in order to defeat the wage workers, thus admitting that there was no difference in principle between the two old parties.
 Resolved That instead of it's being q Waterloo we consider it a Parthian victory for the capitalistic classes, par. ticularly in q city where the gigantic corners in beef, pork and other necessi ties of life have "knocked out" the law of supply and demand
 ReSoired, That the constitutional pro lection of the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is practically nnllified when the Armours and others of the capitalistic class can, under the penalty of discharge, oblige American citizens in their employ to vote as they dictate.
 Resoired, That the Socialistic Labor party is the only political party who's, principals are in accord with the Decla ration of Independence which immor tai document is founded on Socialism,

SOCIALISM IN DENMARK.

Socialist ideas began to take root in Denmark in 1871. A journal was started, the S0ciulistea, which found a ready sale among the work CTS. On May 10, 1874, the first number of the present organ of the party, the Sociol- -Demohratea appear ed. It was started as a daily paper, though much smaller in size than the large daily sheet which now does such credit to our Dutch com rades. In a little over a year the sale had risen from 3,300 to about 10000. At the present time the paper has a steady sale of over 22,0O0 and has trebled in size.
 The Danish Social Democrats have fhad many difficulties to contend with on account of the rigorous cen sorship of the press. Some of their most active comrades have seen the inside of Danish prison, Hoist and Olsen having been twice condemned for articles in the ,S0ciol- Demokraten.
 In 1884, the party succeeded in electing two of their candidates in two divisions of Copenhagen to the "Folkething." At the last elections in January Z, they only succeeded Tn electlng one candidate, though the total Social-Democratic vote had greatly increased.
 During the winter of lS85-G, and also this winter, they have been very active, like the Socialists in England, in the Unemployed Agitation. The distress among the working population has been very great, about l2,O0O persons in Co., penhagen alone having been without work during the winter. Besides, with the assistance of trades unions, collecting nearly S27.00 for the benefit of the unemployed through out the country, the party also brought sufficient pressure to bear on the "Folkething" to make the Assembly pass Bill giving direct assistance from the public exchcquer to those without employment. The Bill however, was thrown out by the 'Landsthing' or Upper Cham | Der.
 The "Workmen's Bakery" was es- abolished by the Party last year, and the custom has so greatly increased that the bakery will have to be en- larged,
 Our Danish comrades look to the future with confidence, and while they have suffered reverses, they have managed to increase their num- bers. There are upwards of a hun dred affiliated socialist societies in Denmark, agitating continually for their principles.
 This information comes from the Secretary of the General Council of the Denmark Social Democratic Federation, and we have used the condensed report contained in Lon don Justice for the benefit of our readers.

danger to our glorious institutions aris- ing from the Tapping of the red flag in Chicago, we find that the jury acted ac- cording to correct bourgeois principles ln finding the accused guilty of the crlme of conspiracy and extortion. Property Is noble and holy, and business Is means to acquire property, there fore business is holy; and since it takes business men to conduct business, they are holy also. Therefore any attempt to control or influence people not to do business with business men is criminal, even though there is no law on the sub iect. Seah.

privileges of the classes. Awed by this show of his wisdom, atfrighted by these threats, the workers have bowed their heads to the yoke. Heavier and heavier it has grown, but the day draws near when it will be thrown off, and the absurd fiction of class forgotten in recognition of equality
 "Oldest of things, divine equality"
 If the class trick has been sue cessfully played off upon them, the workers have been gulled still more completely by the pretcnsion of the shirkers to be the chosen interiors of the earth. St. Peter may hold the keys of heaven and hell, but they pretend to hold the keys of earth, and will allow no one access to it unless first they pay to them the toll called rent. The notion of private property in land, upon which all of us must live, is as repugnant to common sense as individual pro- prletorship in the air, which all of us must breathe; but the production of a parchment sheet setting forth that certain acres of the common soil had been given or sold to A. B. and his descendants for ever by some one who had no right whatever either to give or to sell them, has been taken as sufficient title to ownership of that which no man can own--the land. One questions whether they are not sheep in mems guise who permit themselves to be huddled in towns and cities, starved in slums and alleys, that a whole county may be turned into deer forests and grouse-moors, or that huge estates may rear pheasants and hares, pro- viding sport for the shirkers instead of bread for the workers. Such sub mission is sheepish, it is not human. But the shirkers are not satisfied with laying claim to the land, Whatever wealth is produced by the workers in excess of subsistence wages, is seized upon by them as interest and profit, tolls which they levy for permission accorded the workers to use to-day the capital which they (the workers) created yesterday. And this pretenslon of the shirkers to the ownershi p of the land and the capltal-capital the creation of the workers has so i'm posed upon the latter that they grovel before the shirkers in grati- tude for their kindness in allowing them to till Mer soil, increase Metr capital, employ Mer machinery, without which permission it seems to them they would not be able to get even that scanty fare for which they sweat out their lives. And this brings us to the tlimsiest of all ex- cuses for the existence of the shirk- ers-that they give work, that they encourage the arts and the sciences by consuming the wealth created by others, by purchasing the produce of other mems labor. This sophis- try Is too feeble for the insect mind, but man has accepted it. The bees with greater wisdom kill off the drones. "What is Jem doing?:" "Nothing." And what are you doing?' Helping Jem." And So the busy shirkers, the lawyers, the bankers, the stockholders, the profit mongers, and all the funkey class help the idle shirkers, all of them preylng upon the workers, who must rid themselves of the whole pestilent horde. They must sweep the world clean of them before they can make of it once more temple for man and God, instead of a den of thieves. --- CoHnORWeal.

THE WONDERFUL COUNTRY.
BY JOHN BOYLE o'REILLY.

by JOHN BOYLE o REILLY.
There once was a time when as old song
prove it,
The earth was not round, but an endles:
plane;
The sea was as wide as the heavens abov,
just millions of miles, and begin again.
Aud that was the tirne--a and Elore's the
pity
1t ever should end when the world
could play,
When singers told tales of Cry stal city
In wonderful country far away
But the schools must come, with their scales
and measures,
To limit the visions and weigh the spells
They scotfed at the dreamers with rainbow
treasures,
And circed the world in their parallels
They charted the wales and the sunny
meadows,
Where MINISTRIES might ride for yeaI
and day:
They sounded the depths and they pierced
the shadows
OF that wonderful country far away.
For fancies they gave us their microscopes
For knowledge rubble of fact and doubt
Wing broken and Gagged, like bird from
the tropics,
ba nd. Sta la,l
out
Cold Reason, they said, is the earthly Eden
Go, study its springs, and its ores assay
But fairer the flowers aud fields forbidden
Of that wonderful country far away.
They questioned the slumbering baby's
laughter,
And cautioned its elders to dream by rule;
All mysteries past and to come hereafter
Were settled and solved in their com mon
school,
But sweeter the streams and the Wild birds
singing,
The friendships and loves that were true
Away;
The gladness unseen, like far bell ring ing,
In that wonderful country lar away.
Nay, not in their Reason our dear illusion,
But t.der than truths that are measured
and weighed
o land of the spirit where no intrusion
From booBmen or doubters shall aye be
made.
There still breaks the murmurIng sea to
g!eev us
On shadowy valley and peaceful bay;
And souls that were truest still wait to
meet us
In that wonderful country far away,
